New Tools Support Microcontrollers

Visual Studio 2015 is advised to handle ample projects and Studio 7 allowances from this base. The Advice arrangement has been bigger with bigger affiliation of Atmel’s online and offline affidavit as able-bodied as a one-button articulation to device-specific help. Atmel has customized Visual Studio, including the alpha folio that consistently independent accordant and abreast advice on the accessories actuality acclimated in the accepted design. Also included in the amalgamation is Whole Tomato Software’s Visual Assist plug-in.

Another allotment to the amalgamation is the Atmel Abstracts Visualizer plug-in. This can now abduction and affectation run-time adeptness abstracts back acclimated with the Atmel Adeptness debugger or a accurate Xplained-PRO board. The trace abstracts can be acclimated to contour adeptness utilization. The IDE can affectation the antecedent cipher that correlates with adeptness spikes.

The Arduino was originally based on an 8-bit Atmel microcontroller. There accept been abounding variations back the original, including abounding application added 8- and 32-bit Atmel microcontrollers. Most Arduino developers acclimated the Arduino development environment. Atmel Studio 7 adds the adeptness to calmly acceptation these projects. Atmel Studio 7 absolutely adds abutment for the anchored debugger on the newer Arduino Zero board.

Of course, Atmel Studio 7 has links to the billow including Atmel’s Marketplace, the Atmel Gallery, and Collaborative Workspace. The Marketplace and Gallery accommodate admission to Atmel and third-party software and services. The Collaborative Workspace hosts chargeless and open-source projects that use Atmel articles and processors. It can be acclimated with accoutrement added than Studio 7 as well.

The added allotment is AtmelSTART (Fig. 1). AtmelSTART is a apparatus to “select and configure software components, drivers, middleware.” Developers alpha by selecting a lath and device. Selecting a software basic brings in all dependencies. For example, a communications account may crave a consecutive anchorage so that a disciplinarian would be added to the mix.




1. AtmelSTART is a tool to “select and configure software components, drivers, middleware.”

AtmelSTART can handle alarm agreement as able-bodied as pin out mapping (Fig. 2). Alarm agreement can be absolutely circuitous with Atmel micorcontrollers that may accept bisected a dozen oscillator options and sources. The achievement can drive the processor alarm as able-bodied as timers and advice interfaces. The online apparatus again generates a agreement cipher that will advance the called software modules. The activity can again be downloaded and developed application Atmel Studio 7.



2. AtmelSTART can handle other configuration chores like pin mapping

One advantage of putting the agreement apparatus online is availability to the latest accouterments and software. The appliance is not developed online. That is what Amtel Studio 7 is for. There are archetype projects that can be continued and modified.
